If you run a site, especially a blog, you should really look at using WordPress. It is one of the greatest platforms you can use. Here are just a few of the reasons WordPress is perfect for any site.
1. It Doesn't Cost Anything
One of the best things about WordPress is that you never need to pay to use it, no matter how long you use it on any number of sites. It's incredible that you can get this much power without needing to pay for it. And if you need to customize it, you can even do that since you get full access to the source code.
2. Incredibly Powerful Plugins
The secret behind the amazing power of WordPress is plugins. With these easy to install addons you can quickly add almost any funcitonality to your site, even without being able to do any coding. If a plugin doesn't exist that does what you need, you can also easily write your own.
3. There Are Thousands of Free Themes
A quick search will show thousands of sites that offer themes for your WordPress site, the majority of which are free. No matter what topic your site covers you can almost certainly find a theme, whether free or paid, that fits what you need. If you need to have a theme custom-made they are very easy to create.
4. It's Very Customizable
The WordPres developers knew that people need to customize sites, but hate dealing with code they don't understand. That's why they made everything very easy to change, just by using an intuitive web interface. However, if you do need to make more advanced changes you can, since you have access to all of the source files.
5. Search Engines Love WordPress
One of the morst important goals of any site is to get traffic, and the key to that traffic is often search engines. Due to how WordPress is designed search engines love sites built on it. WordPress sites often rank higher and faster than other types of sites. And to improve this power even more, there are dozens of plugins designed specifically to help improve your rankings.
6. Easy to Host
The developers have gone to great lengths to make sure that WordPress will run on as many systems as possible. All that it needs is PHP and MySQL. This makes finding web hosting much easier. There are a couple of steps you can take to make your experience even better though. Look for a host that runs Apache with mod_rewrite. This will make the SEO features work better. If you're new to WordPress you'll also want to find a host that has WordPress experience so that you can turn to them if you have any problems.
These reasons should be enough to convince anyone that WordPress is perfect in almost any situation.
